Configure additional HTTP transport properties with an assembly tool

 

This topic explains how to configure additional HTTP transport properties with an assembly tool. The assembly tool is used to configure the ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor binding file. You can configure additional HTTP transport properties with assembly tools provided with WAS.

 

Overview

This task is one of three ways that you can configure additional HTTP transport properties for a Web Service acting as a client to another Web service. You can also configure the additional HTTP transport properties in the following ways:

To programmatically configure the properties using the Java API XML-based Remote Procedure Call (JAX-RPC) programming model, review the JAX-RPC specification that is available through Web services: Resources for learning. See Additional HTTP transport properties for Web services applications for more information about the following properties that you can configure:

These additional properties are configured for Web services applications that use the HTTP protocol. The properties affect the content encoding of the message in the HTTP request, the HTTP response, the HTTP connection persistence and the behavior of an HTTP request that is resent after a java.net.ConnectException error occurs when there is a read time-out.

Configure the additional HTTP properties with an assembly tool with the following steps provided in this task section:

 

Procedure

  1. The assembly tools provide a graphical interface for developing code artifacts, assembling the code artifacts into various archives (modules) and configuring related Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) V1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 compliant deployment descriptors.

  2. Start an assembly tool. See "Starting WAS Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

  3. If you have not done so already, configure the assembly tool to work on J2EE modules. Verify the J2EE and Web categories are enabled. See "Configuring WAS Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

  4. Migrate the WAR files that are created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to an IBM assembly tool. To migrate files, import your WAR files to the assembly tool. See "Importing WAR files" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

  5. Configure the additional HTTP transport properties. Create and specify the name/value pair in the Web Services Client Port Binding page for a Web service client. The Web Services Client Port Binding page is available after double-clicking the client deployment descriptor file.
